Whoa. Thanks for the link -- I was actually at some point considering
maybe to get into the Java field instead of being stuck with C/C++ at
work, but after reading that page, I was completely dispelled of the
notion. I think I would lose my sanity after 5 minutes of clicking
through those endless submenus, typing out XML by hand (argh), and
writing 50 pages of Java legalese and setting up 17 pieces of
scaffolding just to get a Hello World program to run. Whoa! I think I
need therapy just skimming over that page. This is sooo over-engineered
it's not even funny. For all their flaws, C/C++ at least doesn't require
that level of inanity...

But of course, if I could only write D at my job, that'd be a whole lot
different... :-P
